I may not have been up and about today, but still put the time to good use.
After several hours, the numbers have roughly been counted:
1700km from Port Saint Louis, France to just before Potsdam, Germany (here we will plot our last part of the trip as we draw closer)
166 locks to lock forward to: 93 of these are in a short 123km upon Canal des Vosges, France (up the mountain, we could say)
